In Pictures: Looking Back on the Summer of 2018

As we slowly start to breeze through September, time to cosy up on the sofa with a cup of tea or get hammered within the confines of your favourite (local) venue is well and truly upon us. It’s been a whirlwind summer, and here at All Things Loud we were able to bring you coverage of more summer festivals than ever before: 28. From the big-shot likes of Rock am Ring, Mad Cool Festival and Bonnaroo to the final edition of the Vans Warped Tour, via Paris’ Rock en Seine and Austria’s Nova Rock, we set out to provide you with the best possible coverage of as many fantastic events as possible. Now, with club season well and truly in swing, we’re looking back on each festival, one picture at a time. Below, you’ll be able to discover exactly what our dedicated photo team got up between the end of March and start of September.
